Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
101. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if his Department was notified in advance by the US Embassy of an aircraft (details supplied) which landed at Shannon Airport on 11 and 12 July 2018 on contract to the US military being refuelled at the airport. [33079/18]
View answerAccording to information made available to my Department by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, the landing referred to in the Deputy’s question concerned a civilian aircraft. Arrangements for such aircraft are a matter for that Department and as such the issue of advance notification by an Embassy to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade does not arise.
